Steve Irwin - Crocodile Hunter dies.

CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and conservationist known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44

Wow, just... wow. I think everybody on the planet knew this guy. And we all thought he was crazy, but I never imagined him dying doing that crazy stuff.
Bet he gets reincarnated as a croc now...

I find it ironic that the very documentary that he was filming when the accident took place was to be called Ocean's Deadliest. I think that now whenever I eat stringray, I will remember him, and that even experts are not immune to the vagaries of nature.

I doubt it. I don't think there were any paparazzi down there with him. It's a matter of whether or not the studio plans on releasing it, I don't think they'll do that within a few hours, if they do it at all.

Having watched a few of his documentaries I'm not suprised. He's practically cuddling and wrestling with them gators and other critters. I even recall him falling into a pool once (got up alive though).
